About One-Day Hazmat Transportation Workshops

Hazmat Transportation Workshops provide a basic overview of the regulatory requirements – what they are, how they apply, and how to meet them – for shipping and transporting Hazardous Materials. The workshops address the same information as the Hazmat Basics track given at the Multimodal Seminars and include overviews of the Training and Security Requirements. These workshops are given by members of PHMSA's Hazardous Materials Safety Assistance Team.

About Two-Day Multimodal Training Seminars

Multimodal Training Seminars offer something for most hazmat employers and employees. Whether you are new to hazmat transportation or a seasoned professional, breakout sessions are presented to increase your knowledge for the safe and secure transportation of hazmat.

Each seminar begins with a General Session that provides overviews of the Department of Transportation’s Hazardous Materials Program, and what to expect during the seminar. The remainder of the two-day seminar consists of Concurrent Breakout Sessions.

Sessions are organized and scheduled into three different tracks: Hazmat Basics, Safety and Compliance, and Hazmat Essentials. You can follow a specific track or attend only those sessions that best meet your needs. Each session is offered twice to help you maximize your seminar experience.

Please see the brochure for session descriptions.

Representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Coast Guard, Transportation Security Administration, and State Hazmat Enforcement will join PHMSA to provide you with answers to your hazmat transportation questions.
